My Plan: Fast taper then HOLD for months.


Recommended Posts

[sl...]

Background:

Clorazepate for a few months then cold turkey.

No benzos for 4 years. Then start Lorazepam at 1 mg at night for GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) and updosed up to 7.5 mg per day over the course of  9 years on it. (time flies!).

CURRENT SITUATION

Doctors angry at me for updosing, so I want to downdose to 5mg and then 2.5 (my life is complex right now I cannot titrate). I get tinnitus and

see 'glimpses' of light and worry a lot, with fast tapering. But this is 'my style' and I have done it before with clorazapate (first fast tapering then cold turkey). 

Doctor told me I will need 4 full years to do slow tapering, so I am doing it a bit faster disobeying the doctor. I had other doctors asking me to cold turkey when I was on 3mg/day but i didnt want to,as its dangerous.

PLAN

From 7 mg /day down to 2.5 /day (just to sleep) but i plan to hold, possibly for months (at 2 mg/day) and then try titration of some sort when my life is less messed up that it is right now (just relocated). 

 

ps: still have no history tab option on my profile, i also logged out and log back in, still not tab, maybe I need to be older in forum 'days' before I get that tab
